    They have been claimed! Their very relieved owner will be coming to pick them up this afternoon!

    Well, NUTZ!

    Those Boys looked like they were going to be a Phunn Pair to *watch*!

    You might offer a lil "suggestion" to their Mom/Dad ...
    tell how darn HANDY a lil engraved Dawg Tag can be in
    times like this!!

    And tell em How Close they came to "loosing" The Boys to a GREAT new home ...

    Heck, they had New Names AND reservations in Slots #24 and #25!

    I did mention that and they apparently had tags that they have lost. Their owner assured me she would get some new ones asap. My dogs loose their tags all the time--that's why I order in bulk and without names, much cheaper! Somewhere in my yard is a huge stash of little engraved silver bones!

    I also threw in a little lecture about getting them neutered, which she also agreed would be a good idea!

    They were very happy to see their Mom. The little grey guy is two years old and his name is Finnegan. The black boy is six and his name is Four-By.

    Happy Trails to Finnegan & Four-By!!

    Let's hope the Tag & Neuter lectures had an effect and bring results.

    Did you find out How Far they'd come when you picked 'em up?
    And any idea HOW they escaped?

    Again ~ Job WELL Done!!

    They were about five miles from their home. There's only one road in the area, otherwise it's all forest. They probably ran alot more than five miles!

    Not sure exactly how they escaped, but it sounded like she had been near their home when they saw a squirrel and took off--huskies being huskies and taking advantage of any momentary opportunity to run!

    Good job! If they were my boys, I sure would be glad to know someone found them & they were safe & sound! Can't think of a better place for those boys to "wait" to be found!

    I'll pass on a little tag-secret -- Sherman kept pulling his off when he laid on the deck - they would slip between the cracks & he'd yank up so hard, they'd pop off. So JoJoe drilled each one so it has two holoes, and I sewed them flat, right onto his collar, with heavy thread. Haven't had to go "tag searching" yet!

    Glacier, those dogs are so lucky to have found you! You are an amazing person to take in these beautiful pups. They sure have it good and those boys are just ADORABLE! That's great that they found their old mom. She must have been very happy.
